Hey Beth, I am happy you're having this addressed. Try to be prepared, but not worry too much. You want to face something like this with an attitude it will all go as well as it possibly can.

As for the stairs, if it were me and I struggled with the crutches going up, I'd sit down backwards and go up that way and take my foot out of the mix. You can use your arms and good leg to push your way up. You'd need to hold onto your crutches, bit it could be done. Whatever you decide, you will be a pro at it in no time. Just stay focused and go slow.

Also, it might be a good idea to get a small backpack if you normally carry a purse. It will be easier to handle and won't slip off your arm.

Much love to you and well wishes for a wonderful outcome!
